things I drew at 5:00 am last night. No I don’t know why I was up or felt compelled to draw Joel Smallishbeans at such an hour, but here have my insanity in paper form.
for context he’s singing I’m not okay by MCR. I could have kept going with the lyrics. I am unsure as to whether that’s a flex or a sign of a problem.
^This is from @insomnya777’s super au. Sorry nya if it’s inaccurate again this was 5 am Ian and he’s a little bit strange and also I didn’t have internet and couldn’t check to see what the outfits actually look like but I’m now motivated by this terrible sketch to make proper fanart of your au because it’s amazing! (For like a month I had forgotten that the Etho-listening-to-Paramore factoid was from your fic and thought it was true and subsequently listened to, like, their entire discography because I was like “I mean if Etho likes ‘em…” lol)
Hello! You asked for characters and numbers so, uh, here's some :D
Characters: Scott, Gem, Martyn, Joel, Pearl
Numbers: 5, 3, 6, 4, 10
Oh my gosh Rain thank you sm!!! I got a drawing ask from deityoftherain I feel so famous lol. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to get to all of them right now, but I’ve got one done, and hopefully in the future when I have more time I can do more of them (I'm particularly excited by the one I have planned for Scott, flower husbands my beloved they were literally my first fandom love, so I neeeed to do a piece with them)
but yeah here is my piece for my number 4 song: Sleep, by My Chemical Romance, with Pearlescent Moon
I wanted it to feel like a glitchy and vaguely haunted old cassette tape, because that’s always what I picture when I hear the recording in the beginning of the song. I didn’t quite manage to capture the vibe I was going for, but I’m proud of the drawing overall. Also I messed up the lyrics slightly- it’s good night not good bye -and it’s driving me insane but I don’t have time to fix it lol. Also 4:42 is the length of the song. Ramble about why I chose red pearl for this piece under the cut (I will admit it was something of a coin flip between whether this song would go to Pearl or Joel, but in the end there was another song on the list that I really wanted to use Joel for. Also Joel would never feel bad about the murder lol /silly) vvvvvvvvv
This song feels so Pearl to me because it’s talking all about how haunted the person feels (technically The Patient from the black parade but I just tried to go off of what the individual song is about rather than the album lore) by all of the bad things they’ve done in the past, claiming not to feel bad and saying their irredeemable, while simultaneously condemning themselves and torturing themselves with guilt. They don’t think they’re worthy of being saved because of “the monsters that [they’ve] been” and sort of switching back and forth between a sort of morbid joy at the freedom of giving in to being unforgivable because they don’t have to search for forgiveness and a terrible sorrow and regret and fear at the destruction in their past, the loss that they caused themselves and are now suffering for, the guilt over the people they’ve hurt. They see no redemption for themselves, and feel both pain at the horrors that set them on this path and peace at letting their worst natures consume them, no longer having to try to walk backwards and instead marching forwards on the path of darkness and, if we tie it back to the album lore, the parade of death. If you have to be there, why not take the lead?
I hear Jimmy’s been getting superstitious lately… :)
this can only end well…/sarc
(This drawing is in reference to the video Jimmy posted of him jokingly praying to a piece of cardstock he had drawn the watcher symbol on, that I decided to misinterpret for fun)
Minus background and weird shading below the cut:

Empty template:
I did a drawing of third life Martyn ‘cause he’s another one of my fav YouTubers. I tried doing a different style than my normal.
I’m posting it as is because that took too many hours to do just that bit for me to feel up to finishing it, but I think what I have turned out well!
hi bluet. An Etho for you because you asked so very nicely. Because I am a kind and benevolent soul, you all get skirt-Etho, you’re welcome lol. I gave him glasses because I wanted to. He can be even more pathetic and dorky than usual. As a treat! For us.
Also a Joel appeared along the way lol, dunno how that happened.
*joel voice* his nerdy ways and total lack of social skills and coolness have enraptured me. Do not fall for his fiendish wiles! He is adorably pathetic, and you will not be able to leave!!
If any one asks I blame this of @bluetbluish
Loved this part of Scar's video so much that I had to draw it
Happy national hermit day! And national cat day! To celebrate, I drew a hermit who really loves his cats
Just something quick and sketchy. I’m trying out some new brushes to speed up the drawing process, and I think it looks alright. Pro tip: if the art isn’t arting cause you’re out of ideas, search up “what national holidays are today”. Better drawing prompt list than anything you’ll find googling what to draw, especially cause if you’re not seeing anything you like there are 364 other days to try.
of course not bestie! Love ur art rahh!
I love how Gem looks all cool and then Joel’s got those British schoolboy shorts (in case it wasn’t obvious I know nothing about the um) and vacation dad trying to act cool vibes like you have captured his specific brand of pathetic.
We heart bluet bluish on this blog, so y’all better go like her art
Edit: the uk I meant the uk not um that makes no sense!!!
Gem and joel wildlife duo do you think they'll end up killing each other
Special thanks to @iandoubt for motivation ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
btw everybody better wish me a happy birfday or else
